Atomic Clock as the External Time Sync Reference for NetWare 6 Servers

Articles and Tips: qna

Q.

I have a question on how to configure my NetWare 6 servers to use an atomic clock as the Time Sync Reference. In particular, I am looking for answers to the following questions:

  • Is there a free available IP site to which we can just set the Time Sync Reference, or is it a paid service?

  • Do we need to spend money and purchase a hardware/appliance? If so, how much does this run?

I would appreciate any details on setting this up.

Dear Syncing: Here is a summary of the answers to your questions:

You will need to make sure that the NetWare 6 servers are able to connect to the Internet on UDP port 123; you also need to set Configured Sources to On.
